Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Element IdExtension
Definition

The type of data entry control or structure that should be used to render the item.

Short DisplayE.g. Fly-over, Table, Checkbox, Combo-box, Lookup, etc.
Cardinality0..1
Comments

Different controls may be appropriate for different item types. It is up to the system rendering a questionnaire as to what controls it will support and for which data types. See additional guidance and examples in the SDC implementation guide.

Extension.id

Definition

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices. The slicing rules are:
  • unordered
  • Open
  • discriminators: value:url
Extension.url

Fixed Valuehttp://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/questionnaire-itemControl
Extension.value[x]
Element IdExtension.value[x]

Requirements

The data type is CodeableConcept to allow for additional codings that might provide finer-grained control information or specification of specific controls in different rendering environments. CodeableConcept.text is generally unnecessary for this element and should not be sent alone as the use-case for this element is for computable interpretation by rendering engines.
